FEASIBILITY OF ORGANIC NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT IN FENUGREEK (TRIGONELLA FOENUM GRAECUM L.)

An investigation conducted on calcareous sandy loam soil at Anand (Gujarat) during rabi season of 2016-17 to study the effect of organic nutrient management in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.). Among the different nutrient management practices, significantly higher plant growth parameters were reported under treatment T3 (Vermicompost @ 1.0 t ha-1) and similarly, application of Vermicompost @ 1.0 t ha-1 (T3) secured highest grain yield (2245 kg ha-1) however, it remained at par with treatment T7 (2190 kg ha-1) and T9 (2053 kg ha-1). Straw yield was significantly highest in T3 (4572 kg ha-1) compared to the lowest straw producing treatment T1 (3246 kg ha-1)
